4-Day Classic Lhasa City Tour: Potala, Jokhang, Drepung, Sera

Four days inside Lhasa was the right call - the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Drepung and Sera monasteries each deserve unrushed time. Watching the monk debates at Sera in the afternoon was mesmerising. Spreading it over four days also helped us acclimatise to the altitude gently.

The four pillars of Tibetan Buddhism done properly. The Potala is overwhelming, Jokhang's pilgrims circling with prayer wheels moved me, and Drepung's scale astonished. No rushing - the private pace let us breathe at 3,650m. Our guide's understanding of Tibetan Buddhism was exceptional.

Four unhurried days in Lhasa covering Potala, Jokhang, Drepung and Sera. The monk debates at Sera were a highlight. Taking it slow really helped with the altitude. Our guide arranged all the Tibet permits in advance and the whole trip was seamless. Deeply moving experience.

A thorough Lhasa city tour. Seeing all four great sites - the Potala, Jokhang, Drepung and Sera - over four days without feeling rushed was exactly what we wanted. The altitude is no joke so the gentle pacing is a real plus. Private guide was knowledgeable and patient.
